  • TLDR:Mechanist is an agentic system that uses AI as a scientific instrument for the autonomous discovery of mechanisms underlying AI intelligence, and develops a mechanism theory of belief, revealing how models represent world knowledge, form beliefs, infer the beliefs of others, and how these mechanisms emerge during pretraining.
